King Soopers, City Market Recall Nuts over Listeria Concerns
The Kroger Co., the parent company of King Soopers and City Market grocery stores, announced it has expanded a recall of its 12 oz. packages of Simple Truth Dry Roasted Macadamia Nuts due to potential Listeria monocytogenes contamination.
In May, Kroger was informed by the supplier that the macadamia nuts used in this product may have the potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. Routine sampling of a different item produced by the supplier for another company revealed positive Listeria monocytogenes results, and a subsequent investigation of the manufacturing environment discovered a contaminated piece of equipment.
The product comes in a 12 oz., clear plastic package marked with expiration dates of: Dec. 09, 2017, Mar. 02, 2018, Mar. 03, 2018, or Apr. 07, 2018 stamped on the side. Product was distributed between 12/9/2016 to 6/13/2017. Kroger has removed the following item from store shelves and initiated its customer recall notification system that alerts customers who may have purchased recalled products through register receipt tape messages and phone calls.
Product | UPC | Code | Size |
---|---|---|---|
Simple Truth Dry Roasted Macadamia Nuts | 11110-02478 | Sell By: | 12 oz. |

Customers who have purchased any of the products described above should not consume them and should return them to a store for a full refund or replacement.
